How Does FANO Advocate for its members?
FANO is your strong voice in Tallahassee

FANO is the "go-to" organization for

information on nonprofits.
FANO makes a concerted effort to be cross-culturally representative, with members coming

from major, medium and emerging nonprofits in the areas of Arts & Culture, Education,
Environment, Health, Human Services, Community Development and Faith-based. There
are also membership opportunities for “For-profit” Organizations (Preferred Partners),
Institutions, Affiliated Associations and Governments.
Current issues tracked by FANO include:

advocacy and lobbying. The process is on a fast track. To date, 97l,000 requests have
been received by the rulemaking committee to ask for an opportunity to express
themselves on the issues.
• Grant uniformity and streamlining: The federal government is redesigning the federal
grant system to have a uniform system of proposing, reporting and
administering federal grants.
• Red tape reduction, elimination of redundancy, and recommendations to ensure
consistency to help nonprofits streamline their dealings with governments and funders.
